Maybe you’ve
been there. You needed a fertility doctor and googled the closest one to you
and, viola, found yourself sitting across from someone who was just NOT your
type. Worse yet, you were paying $300 an hour to talk to Dr. Unempathetic and
Distracted and you felt totally misunderstood and wondering if the clinic
thought you were just another cookie cutter patient.

Hey, we’ve been
there too.

My wife, Deb,
and I made every mistake in the book when it came to finding the right doctor
for us. In fact, we not only picked the wrong doctor once, but twice, and the
second time, our new doctor made an error that sent my wife to the ER, saving
her life just in the nick of time. I couldn’t believe I had to remind him that
his job was to help us grow our family, not shrink it.

Deb and I, like
many of you, entrusted our fertility doctors with our dreams, our hopes, our
prayers, and oh yeah, our savings. Yet we knew nothing about them when we
walked in the door and the end results were heartbreaking and expensive.

In return,
hopeful parents read these reviews to help them make a more informed decision
before making one of the most expensive and emotionally taxing decisions of
their lives.

Today, we have
helped over 1 million people in the U.S. and Deb and I are doing everything we
can to earn the trust of those depending on us. We refuse to take any
advertising dollars, or be lured by the partnerships of clinics, because we
don’t want people to question the content objectivity. Yes, it’s that important
to us.

We ask reviewers
to provide us with a document, if they can, to show that they were indeed
patients at the clinic they are reviewing so readers can trust the assessment
and feedback.

The fertility
community? Well, we have never quite seen a community as educated,
knowledgeable, empathetic, motivated, and passionate about helping their own
like fertility patients. FertilityIQ is an easy way to give back to the
community and share your honest thoughts as you would with a friend over a cup
of coffee. Too few of us know we can turn for unbiased insight and the
consequences for being uneducated can have a devastating impact.

Going to the
wrong doctors for three years didn’t only create heartache and sap the
excitement out of marriage, but it cost us an expensive $75,000. The tragic
news is we are the norm, not the exception. The average fertility patient will
give up on their doctor and be forced to move on to a second, sometimes even a
third doctor or clinic. Even worse, the average cost a couple will spend before
finding success is $66,000. Yep, that’s more than the average household income
for a year. It’s just not right.

So why is it so
hard to find the right fertility doctor? For one, there are limited resources,
online and off. Second, the decision is highly personal. You may want a warm
and fuzzy doctor while your friend wants someone who is factual and to the
point. Next, we know time is not on our side, so we have to make snap
judgements and split decisions. You need to get in ASAP, your OBGYN gave you a
number to the local clinic and you took the doctor who had the next opening.
Will it be a good fit for you and your partner? Who knows, but you have an
appointment next month.

The point is we
settle, despite all that hangs on the line. We did it time and time again and
learned the lesson the hard way.

Deb and I built FertilityIQ to reverse this and to give people a voice. We quit our jobs,
decided to harness our compassion, and pool our wisdom so that we can
effectively be smarter together as a community.
Our goal is to help others have healthy and happy families and reach parenthood
with our relationships, emotions, and bank accounts still in one piece.

The road towards
parenthood is lonely and isolating, but it doesn’t have to be intimidating.
With the right information at your fingertips, we hope you can make your dreams
come true.

Your experience
matters! If you have an insight on a fertility doctor or clinic, we’d love to
